"So excited to have another amazing omakase spot in East Bay! Chef Nonaka and Anna were incredibly attentive and welcoming. The fish was not only fresh and high quality, but also very unique. Chef also adds creative touches, textures, and flavors to make the experience even more special than many other omakases we’ve had. We had a wonderful meal and look forward to coming back soon!"

"Exciting news for sushi lovers in East Bay. My favorite sushi chef in this region, Joji Nonaka, has finally found a permanent location in Oakland alongside his partner Anna Osawa. With only 8 seats and an 18-course omakase, we got to enjoy rare and seasonal fish sourced from Japan by a renowned fish concierge, as well as organic vinegar and soy sauce made with 300-year-old techniques and static-fermented vinegar from a 130-year-old brewery in Kyoto."

"Sushi Salon is a fantastic experience. Joji and Anna are wonderful hosts - they are welcoming and attentive. We got to try a number of new kinds of fish and each one was delicious. Both Anna and Joji are so knowledgeable and happy to share stories about the fish and the wonderful condiments. Anna recommended a great sake that perfectly complemented the dinner. We look forward to returning in a few months to try their housemade plum wine!"

"Writing this review is not in my best interest because it's going to make it harder for me to get reservations in the future, but I can't help myself. This was the best sushi I have ever eaten by a wide margin. The fish is remarkably fresh and high quality, and most things come from a specialty fish broker in Japan. I'm half-convinced that what they've actually done is train the very best fish in the world to jump out of the ocean and land directly in their restaurant... it's that fresh. The meal is many courses of omakase, and everything is expertly and lovingly prepared before your eyes. The attention to quality, tradition, and artistry comes through in every bite. If you're looking for rolls stuffed with cream cheese and drenched in eel sauce then this is not the place for you. If you're looking for the highest quality fish prepared with expertly and with a deep respect for the craft then I can't recommend Sushi Salon highly enough."

"Sushi Salon never fails to impress me at their various pop ups. Some of the freshest and most delicious sushi I have ever had, hopefully they will secure a brick and motor in the Bay Area someday soon"
